The best thing about being Greek?!

[pirate00]

In all honesty, I love the fact that I am associated with a group of individuals who can go anywhere and accomplish any task at hand. These are people that stress the importance of service to humanity, yet know how to have a good time as well. Also, the love and respect that most of the other GLO's on campus have for one another, whether they be social or service. When there's harmony in the Greek system, everyone benefits!!!

I personally love being Greek and there are so many reasons for this.But I would have to say that some of the best things are my sisters, the philanthropic opportunities and of course the social aspect.
But most importantly, my sisters are my support system here at school and they mean the world to me. We have so much fun together and whenever I need anything I know I can always count on my sisters. I think that is what being Greek is all about- Sisterhood and Brotherhood.

Easy! Brotherhood/sisterhood! It sucked being an only child for 19 years!

The best part of going Greek for me has not just been meeting the wonderful girls that I am now proud to call my sisters. I am enjoying being part of the larger Greek community at RU. It's awesome to know that even though we are all members of different organizations that we are still united by a special bond. "No matter the letter, we're all Greek together"

I think the best part about being greek and esp. Phi Mu is the bond of sisterhood I have made with not only my chapter, but surrounding Phi Mu's.
Phi Mu has brought out a part of me I didn't know I had. They are the best group of girls I have ever met! I love every sister as a real blood sister, so I guess that's what you could say is my fav. part about being greek!
Not to mention the boys are ok too!!!!

Love in Phi Mu!!!!!

I think the best part of being in a sorority is, not only the sisterhood within the sorority but, the love of the Greek community. In the fall a member of another sorority was killed in a hit & run and the way that all the Greeks pulled together to support those girls was wonderful! I love seeing us pull together when times are good and when they are bad.

I totally agree with my girl Leslie! I love being greek because of the experience of being greek. I love my chapter more than words can express and I love all that we are, but I have always felt being greek goes soooo much deeper than just the GLO you are in. It's the fact that you have this common bond with all these people in all these different orgs, you have this love for something so beautiful like greek life. I had a friend who was an AXO die a couple of years ago and through that I met her sisters, some DPhiE's and some ZTA's from Central Mich Univ. and the second we met there was a common bond that we all knew sisterhood and greekhood. I work for the University of Michigan and I meet people from many different orgs and whenever I meet them we already have this connection of being greek and knowing what it is all about. I am a member of AGD, but I am also a member of panhellenic and greek life in general. I love all greeks and all greek orgs and I am so proud to be a part of it all. I've known since 5th grade that I wanted to be greek, and now that I am, I know why.

For me, its gotta be staying up till all hours of the am chatting with your brothers about nothing. Having those deep conversations where you end up pondering the meaning of the universe. Gotta love that. Was up till 4am last night discussing I dont even remember.

Or, meeting a brother for the first time, and that look, like even though you've never met, its like you've known each other forever. I guess its that shared experience thing. WAY too cool. Knowing youve experienced the same things, and felt the same things. It rocks.

My two cents.

Fraternity life is the best. I'm a sophomore now and I don't know what I would do without my brothers by me. This is my second year in this fraternity and it's one of the best things I've done. What have I built upon:
-Scholarship
-Brotherhood
-Community Service
-Cultural awarness
These are the things I live to serve day in and day out. Thanks to my brothers, I have become a stronger man.

You know, when I first joined Sigma Alpha, I knew from the beginning that it would be like no other sorority, and it has its uniqueness(did I spell that right?) And sometimes, I think about how at first I did not want to join a sorority because of the common saying "I didnt want to pay for my friends." Now I look back, and realize, how great it is to be part of the greek system. I can imagine, not being in it, and wondering what it would be like. But I dont have to worry about that now. I am in a wonderful sorority, and I am proud to say that we are the only social and professional sorority on LSU's campus. We may be small, but that does not matter. We may not have a house, but that does not matter either. All that matters is that I have awesome sisters, each with our own diverse personalities. By the way, I am SO excited to see Dave MAtthews this weekend at Jazz Fest. WHOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Hey everyone, good luck on finals!!!!!
